If you're wondering why more physicists aren't excited about a 4.3 sigma signal at 152 GeV, it's because it comes from combining 8 channels that look like this:

NASA scientists recently proposed a new experiment to test what is going on with dark energy in our vicinity. The want to use four small spacecraft flying around the solar system in a tetrahedron formation to look for variations from Einstein’s gravity.

We're not in a "simulation" folks. That's just an insane thing to seriously believe. It's based on a modal fallacy that fools you into concluding that something is certain because it is simply possible.
There are lots of arguments that attempt to do that, especially regarding…
The Future of Humanity Institute announced last week that they have shut down. Located at the University of Oxford in the UK prior to its demise, the institute was one of the few places worldwide studying the risk of human extinction.

Scotland ditches its super ambitious climate plans. Many other nations will follow. Most of these plans are bullshit and we all know it. Time to get real.

Wow, what an amazing resource this is for thinking about the state and future of physics.
I particularly like the comment from @orzelc: "Will there be new physics? We’re not done with the old physics yet".

I thought electric vehicles were the future of transportation. Not so much because they're clean, but because many car enthusiasts love them for their powerful acceleration. But now I believe we'll likely see a shift to hybrids in the near future.

You might have heard that according to Einstein's theories of special and general relativity time doesn't pass for light, or that time actually stops for light. Can this possibly be correct?

Wir geben Milliarden für klimaschädliche Subventionen aus - ein klarer Eingriff in den Markt. Kosten für Klimaschäden zahlen alle, anstatt sie, nach marktwirtschaftlicher Logik, über CO2-Steuern zu verrechnen. Und dann heißt es, "die Marktwirtschaft" sei Schuld an der Klimakrise?
